Answer:

b) In nature, only embryonic stem cells give rise to all the different types of cells in the organism.

Explanation:

Embryonic stem cells are special type of cells formed in the embryonic stage of the life cycle of a living organism. Embryonic stem cells are capable of differentiating into every other type of cells that exists in an organism. Besides the embryonic stem cells, other types of stem cells exist, one of which is the adult stem cell.

The adult stem cell is a type of stem cell found in the tissues of adult organisms as opposed to those found in the embryo. One substantial difference between the embryonic and adult stem cells is that the embryonic stem cells are the only type of stem cells capable of giving rise to all the different types of cells in an organism i.e. embryonic stem cells are capable of differentiation while adult stem cells are not.

sattari [20]

Answer: Point mutation is easily reversible, thus non-lethal

Explanation:

Point mutation is caused by exchange of a single nucleotide for another. These change is called

1) Transition (when a purine base substitute another purine base, or pyrimidine bases substitute each other)

2) Transversion (when a purine base substitute a pyrimidine base).

However, note that a point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation; so, the claim that a nucleotide difference in the Hsr12 gene caused the human disease is inaccurate

Why do most stars not necessarily die in the time we would normally expect them to?
Ivanshal [37]
The reason why stars does not die when it is there time is because they tend to fuse in different and more heavier elements. In that way, it prevents them from dying for they were able to have the components of different elements, extending their lives and prevent themselves from dying on the time that they were supposed to.
